Lofoten, located above the Arctic Circle in Norway, is a popular destination for fishing enthusiasts. Known for their stunning scenery and rich marine life, the Lofoten offer a unique fishing experience that combines natural beauty with abundant fishing opportunities.
Depending on the season, you can catch everything from cod and haddock to mackerel and halibut. The fish in Lofoten is renowned for its excellent quality. That's why Lofoten is the perfect place for a fishing vacation in Norway.

For example, halibut is available from April through December. For cod fishing, plan a trip from February through April, and the summer months are ideal for sea trout.
Winter can be hectic, but if you use a fishing guide, there will be no problems fishing during the colder months. In fact, from January through April you have a good chance of catching huge cod.
The fishing base is located on the beach in Skreda, 5 km from Leknes Airport, which is in the center of the Lofoten Islands. Just 10 minutes from the camp is the largest shopping center in the Lofoten Islands, Leknes, where you can find everything you need during your stay at the base.
The climate of this country varies depending on the latitudes, that is, in the South it is temperate, while the North is dominated by the subarctic climatic zone.
